If you are concerned about saving ounces then you simply must assume some level of risk. If you want total protection for your rod, then you must sacrifice some of your ultralight philosophy.
If you are really committed to the "ultralight" hiking thing, then you will have to accept the risk of carrying your rod as-is, or at the most putting it in a fabric rod sleeve of some kind. I use electrical-harness woven sleeving for many of my rods- not for the same philosophy as you, but it protects the rods and weighs almost nothing. Or, hell, just carry your rod with you. I can't imagine how many miles I've walked carrying a fishing rod in my lifetime.

To the simpleton, proof does not matter once emotion takes hold of an issue.
